Audition Atlas is a new platform designed to bring transparency to the professional dance audition process. Before we launch, we want to hear from you. This survey takes 8–10 minutes and every response directly shapes how we build the app.
All responses are anonymous unless you choose to share your contact details at the end.
7 short sections covering your background, how you find auditions, your experiences with the industry, and what features matter most to you
No right or wrong answers — we want your honest experience
Fully anonymous — we will never share individual responses
